In ancient Greek mythology, Persephone, also known as Kore or Cora, the maiden, is the daughter of Zeus and Demeter, the harvest goddess. She reigns supreme as the queen of the underworld. Homer vividly portrays her as a formidable, majestic princess of the underworld who unleashes the curses of men upon the souls of the dead. Persephone was taken by Hades, the god-king of the underworld, in a dramatic abduction that symbolizes her role as the personification of vegetation. As spring bursts forth and harvest season arrives, she withdraws into the earth, making her associated with both the fertility of vegetation and the vibrant beauty of spring. Similarly, myths of abducted maidens can be found in the Orient's cults of male gods such as Attis, Adonis, and Osiris, as well as in Minoan Crete.
